Abstract

The effect of postdecapitative ischemia (5 min at 37 degrees) and hypoxia (5% O2, 95% N2, 30 min) on the distribution of protein radioactivity in the cellular fractions of guinea pig cerebral cortex was studied. Ischemic conditions resulted in the increase of total radioactivity level and protein content in the mitochondrial fraction. In the cytosol the opposite effect was observed; the radioactivity and protein content were decreased. The amino acid analysis of microsomal proteins and the distribution of glucose-6-phosphatase activity, differing from those in control animals, suggest structural disturbances in the microsomal fraction. The results indicate a different sedimentation of proteins in the given experimental conditions. After hypoxia such effects were not observed.
